Sexy left-handed women are part of a rare group of people to grace this earth. Only approximately seven percent of the population is born as southpaw and the majority of this group is male. While lefties were once shunned by society, today they are beloved and considered high achievers. After all, three of the last four United States Presidents have been left-handed. Can you guess which one wasn’t? Left-handed women may be rare, but like a precious metal they are prized and adored.

Nicole Kidman won the Academy Award for her performance in The Hours, where she portrayed right-handed author Virginia Woolf. For the role, Kidman betrayed her left-handed brothers and sisters and learned to write with her right hand. She stated in an interview, "I learned to write with my right hand for it [The Hours]. People look at me, like, that's crazy, and I'm like, no, it was necessary." Her hard work, authenticity, and lack of a hand double culminated in numerous accolades.

Kate Hudson has many things in common with her mother Goldie Hawn. Both are blonde, both are movie stars, and both are left-handed. This is rare. Research has shown that left-handedness is partly genetic and partly environmental. High testosterone levels during pregnancy may be a key reason why people are born left-handed. The theory goes that higher testosterone levels suppress growth in the left side of the brain, causing more neurons to migrate to the right side. The ride side of the brain controls the left side of the body. This is how science made both Kate and Goldie unique.

Sexy Rebecca Romijn likes to tell everyone that her last name is pronounced “Romaine,” like the lettuce. The blonde bombshell recently married Stand By Me star Jerry O’Connell and gave birth to twins. While it's unknown what dexterity her children will be, they have a higher chance of being left-handed because they are twins.

Both Angie Harmon’s parents were models. The stunning brunette started her career as a model, then transitioned into acting after being discovered on an airplane by David Hasselhoff. Soon Angie was on Baywatch and the rest is history. Angie is the only left-handed out-and-proud Republican to make this list, making her one of the hottest left-handed Republicans in the world.

Amy Smart was once named one of Organic Style magazine’s "Women with Organic Style,” making her one of the leading left-handed women with organic style in the world. Whatever that means. The star of Road Trip, Varsity Blue and Crank is a hippy at heart. She was until recently a vegetarian. When she’s not acting, she is an ardent activist for the environment.
